What do you guys think about this shine?

 

That's sick.

Did you chop that?

 

No, that is 100% untouched just resized as the original image was taken with my Sony F828 8Mp and it was over 3 mb...

 

Looks great from where I'm sitting....

 

Wow!

 

Very impressive then. Care to comment on the wax (Zaino etc?).

Thanks.

 

It can't be Zaino, it looks too good.

 

Does look good. Details on the wax ... and exhaust?

 

Baller, what IS your issue with Zaino. Did you have a problem with it? Did you ever use it? Do you speak from experience or ignorance?


Cortc: The shine and the photo look great!

 

That looks so unreal. Like a polished aluminium finish.
Care to show us some wider shots?

 

looks great

 

I will post some wider shots tonight; in the meantime this is how I take care of her...

Wash at least once a week, use two separate sponges one for the upper body and another for the wheels, wheel wells and splash areas. First I spray the rims with Meguiars Hot Rims wheel cleaner and while that is working I mix a bucket of warm water with Meguiars Deep Crystal car wash. Next I wet down the car with the hose and wash off the rims as well; with the car completely washed down I wash her with the sponge by sections always keeping the car completely wet, then I clean the wheels and wheel wells with the other sponge… Using two sponges insures that I never get brake dust on the paint that is stuck on the sponge once it is used to wash the rims. Once the car has been washed down I pull her into the garage and dry her off with The Absorber, it is a very good synthetic chamois that dries very well and leaves nothing behind… She always shines very nicely after this treatment then I Clean the windows with Windex and Armor All tire foam the tires…

This weekend after washing I used Meguiars Quik Clay Detailing System, then washed again (Same process as above…), then Deep Crystal Polish, and finally a coat of Quik Wax…

Now after every other wash I will use a little Quik Detailer and once every 4 months another coat of wax…

That’s it…

 

looks good - makes me wish I got black.

 

It's an RX-8 mirror! Now all you need are the chrome wheels to go with it!
mmmm...chrome...

 

What do you think?

 

beautiful... this is certainly a lot of work

 

If I knew what problem you had with Zaino, I wouldn't ask.

 

how come I cant see any of the pics? perhaps i need to adjust a setting somewhere?

 

haha, thats what im saying, i cant see those pics

 

probably cuz this post woke up from the dead and needs to go back to sleep

 

DAMNIT YOU IDIOT!

 

 

rookies
no wonder only one post, back to bed now

 

Lol, this thread is about 2 years old. I think Cortc moved on quite a long time ago. His car was one of the cleanest 8s I've ever seen.

 

great! now that I got you attention. what spoiler is that on you silver rx8?
